How many Civ wonders (from any Civ game) have you seen in person? The ones that I've seen:

Chichen Itza (At age 4)
Sistene Chapel
Uffizi
Statue of Liberty (didn't get to go inside though)

There are also probably a few that I was close to but didn't get to see, like the Eiffel tower (I looked for it from the plane while flying out of Paris to Rome but didn't see it).

Speaking of the Uffizi gallery, the opening scene of the Dario Argento film The Stendhal Syndrome gives you a pretty good quick tour of it (thankfully, the line to get in wasn't that long when I was there!):


Link to video.

Apparently the titluar "Stendhal Syndrome" in which people in which people faint/have a weird meltdown from being overcome by great art is a real thing and they actually have cots set up for people at the Uffizi for when that happens.

Of the world wonders in various versions, I've been to the Alhambra, Angkor Wat, Apostolic Palace, Big Ben, Brandenburg Gate, Eiffel Tower, Globe Theatre, Leaning Tower of Pisa, Neuschwanstein, Notre Dame, Sistine Chapel (though this is in the Apostolic Palace, I guess), Stonehenge, Sydney Opera House, The Hagia Sophia, The Kremlin, The Louvre, Uffizi & Versailles. Of the national wonders, Circus Maximus, Hermitage, National Epic (if it's the Arc de Triomphe), Red Cross (if the HQ in Geneva counts) & Oxford.
